(c) Annual Report

The Court received the annual report of the Standards Committee, advising of its activity during the May 2017 to April 2018 period. It was noted that five alleged breaches of the Code of Conduct had been considered by the Committee during 2017/18.

Responding to a question from Marianne Fredericks, the Chairman advised that training in relation to the new complaints and appeals procedures would need to be undertaken by Members of the new Standards Appeals Committee prior to that Committee taking on its responsibilities. He added that he had undertaken the training personally and had also encouraged fellow Standards Committee Members to participate, to gain a greater understanding of the new procedures.

Resolved – That the report be received and its content noted.
